I received a confirmation call regarding an appointment I cancelled several weeks ago, and the…read morereceptionist refused to acknowledge that I cancelled the appointment. (I cancelled the appointment because I received atrocious quality of care at my previous appointment). Because the call was on Thursday and the appointment was on Monday it fell under the 24 hour cancellation window. When I said again that I had to cancel I was told that I would never be able to schedule an appointment with any Tidewater location ever again. I'm not seeing evidence of this policy anywhere, it seems like the receptionist just outright lied. Don't go here.

This office was completely fine and professional for the visits themselves. Leaving on the final…read morevisit I was told that insurance would cover all costs and nothing was due/owed. I began receiving text messages with balances. I called the office 5 times and left detailed messages with no returned calls. I even emailed corporate and talked to their answering service who told me he would relay the message when they opened on their next business day. To this day, I have received no mailed correspondence or bills and no one can be bothered to call me back. I do not know if I owe money and will not rely on an automated text message with links that could be spam. Very strange business practices.

I am now responsible for filing my own claim because they don't do it themselves (for my specific insurance only, go figure) but they didn't share that until after they already did the procedure and tried to tell me I didn't provide them my medical insurance information from the beginning so they didn't know.. except they made a copy of my insurance cards 2 months prior to my surgery even took place. I would never recommend this place to anyone. unfortunately they have already removed my wisdom teeth and they've screwed me over so my back is against the wall. they deserve negative stars. Dr. Z isn't the issue but his office is poorly managed. There are 2 office managers and one of them (Devahna) is completely unprofessional, condescending, and just talks to talk without any actual merit or useful information coming out of her mouth. Find another oral surgeon because this place will just screw you over in the end.

Big difference in trying to charge me $300 for something when I only had to pay $50 (this happened more than once). They don't like it when you call your insurance company either to find out what you're really supposed to pay. When my insurance company started questioning them about the charges, the dentist office dropped me and my family as patients and refunded me for all the money that was overpaid. Funny, I guess if I had not dug deep enough to find out actual cost, they would have pocketed the extra money that they charged me every single time. I have never in my life dealt with a situation or dental office like this. I wonder how many others blindly pay and never question the charges/amounts. Also want to add how rude the dentist was about all of this as well. We did not miss multiple appointments or any appointments for that matter. Did I ever have to reschedule something? Yes! With that being said, we were contacted by our insurance company and told to not come back. They said the office called them, not us. This was due to the staff being irritated by my insurance company. They were questioning prices and procedures.

I finally asked for recommendations of a PEDIATRIC Dentist and was sent to Tendercare. Ever since then, (approximately 10 years now), I have taken my boys to TenderCare. The staff is friendly and the doctor who was there (Dr. Kim), was awesome. I like the new Dr as well but Dr. Kim definitely made an impression on my boys and I. I recommend Tendercare to anyone looking for a friendly, and great place to take their kids for all dental needs.

Being a product of a horrible dentists during my childhood that have caused me to have a dental…read morephobia, I believe the BEST thing you can do for your child is to provide for a positive experience with the dentist. I live over an hour away from this place. Does that tell you anything? I think the staff is wonderful with the kids. They laid the groundwork with my son to not have a fear of the dentist and has kept his teeth in great shape despite his addiction to marshmallows (prizes for potty training). The dentists are grads from UPENN (currently the top dental school if not one of the top 3) and everyone we have worked (great hygienists and assistants) with have made this place awesome- Which is more than I can say about those Chain Pediatric dental offices that employ dentists who are not pediatric dentists at all..... Unlike at KOOL smiles or whatever it is called, they wont "YELL" at you child to calm them down by scaring them. They use this awesome reward system (token to get a prize for being good) at the end to pick a toy in one of the dispensers. ALSO, the cute ship for kids to play in at the corner of the waiting room - PERFECT. Kept my kids busy for my 5 min wait (which is forever in kid time) As for scheduling, I don't mind scheduling in advance for the appointments I need (Sorry, Angela C.), but when I've needed to reschedule, they were fine with it as long as it wasn't a last-minute thing (I changed it a week or two out). My son hasn't needed it yet, but they offer DVDs for kids to watch during their procedure...(healthy teeth thanks to this place) The office is a building shared with an orthodontist on the other side (uhm.. can we say perfect transition to the tween years?) the ONLY drawback is the distance... but it is worth it for us.
